L'Oréal Paris ELVIVE Smooth Intense Conditioner Review

I was looking forward to trying this product, as my hair gets a lot of frizz and flyaways from blow drying and straightening. This product was ok; it didn't adversely affect my hair in that it didn't make it oilier or too dry. My hair is quite fine, and I didn't like what the product did for this type of hair. It made my hair seem thicker and having more volume. This could be ok for some people, but it made it more difficult to manage for me. It was fine enough to run my hand through easily before and I couldn’t do this easily after using the product. I didn't notice any difference in terms of frizz or flyaways either so I didn't feel there was any benefit to counteract the harder to maintain hair. I didn’t notice any difference in shine either which I’ve seen from argan oil. I wouldn't use this product again, but it may suit someone with another hair type better.

I was skeptical to begin with, anything that I have tried in the past to smooth my frizz usually is very heavy on my extremely fine/thin hair but this was very light and didn't take any volume away. The scent is pleasant and the price is great! will definitely considering repurchasing.

So I have been using this conditioner for the past 2 weeks and I would say it did what the bottle say it would do. I have naturally wavy hair and from time to time it gets dry and frizz. I noticed while using this conditioner it stopped feeling dry a couple days after use and felt more thicker and looked shinny too. I would use this product again, the only thing is, it is more expense then my normal choice. So hoping it is on special I need conditioner.

For starters, I love the packaging! Clear bottle is super handy so you can see how much product you have left. If used not in confunction with the shampoo I don't think it'd be as effective. The conditioner left my hair feeling smooth and the frizz was definitely reduced over the period of the trial.

Love this product

Packaging: Really bright eye catching product Application: Really easy to apply, easy to rinse out Finish: Leaves my hair feeling smooth, shiny and frizz free, which is amazing since I straighten my hair heaps and doesn't make my hair oily

I used this conditioner in conjunction with the ELVIVE shampoo ,the bottle has a sleek design which was easy to manage and i loved the bright yellow color.The conditioner had a thick creamy texture which smoothed very easily through my hair, the scent was very fresh and pleasant, my hair was left feeling nourished and definitely less frizz was visible at the end of my trial,the price was fair for all the sizes that are available,i would happily recommend this conditioner and also continue to use myself on a regular basis.

First just a little about my hair. I have had oily hair for the longest time until recently. The last few times I have been to the hairdresser they have suggested a deep conditioning treatment because it has been dry and damaged. It still gets oily after a few days, but I can feel that it is dry and I get a lot of flyaways.

I used this conditioner following the matching shampoo.

I found the packaging a little frustrating. The first time I used it the bottle creased in a funny place and it has made it hard to squeeze out each time, and I like how the shampoo has a see through bottle, it would've been nice for this to be see through as well. It doesn't flow as nicely as the shampoo,its almost custard like. It smells great, like the shampoo.

When using conditioner I usually leave it on for about 3 minutes, I try not to go any longer as it ends up weighing my hair down. With this conditioner I tried washing it out quickly, waiting 3 minutes and I also mucked around shaving my legs etc and left it longer. The first time my hair was smooth, but it definitely felt better when I had left it for 3 minutes. I was surprised though that when I left it longer it didn't feel really weighed down and a bit greasy like other products. Every time when I wash it out it feels light and clean.

When dry I was really impressed with how smooth it was. I hardly had any flyaways and it felt light but not dry. I was also unwell at one stage during the trial and I didn't wash my hair for 3 days, normally I can't get away with that. But on the third day I would have still been able to go out without it being greasy or gross.

I have already purchased my next lot of this conditioner and the matching shampoo (they were on special at Countdown for $4, really affordable)

My hair is coloured and fine but I have a lot of it. This means it gets REALLY frizzy, and I can't leave it to dry naturally without some styling help. This conditioner has a pleasant smell, goes through the hair easy & makes it feel nice once washed out, The only down side I had was that it made my hair go oily slightly faster than normal.

Unless I take the time to properly blow dry my hair, apply product and straighten, my hair is generally bushy and out of control, even more so as am currently pregnant. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this product did what it promised. My hair was noticeably smoother and less 'bushy' after using it with the accompanying shampoo. I tested it with a towel dry straight to bed, a towel dry with a little serum, and a blow dry. On each occasion my hair was considerably smoother than with other shampoos and conditioners I have used. There were less fly aways and it was also shinier.
